This week, Pauline von Petzold and Frederik Schindler analyze the strategic transformation of the AfD into a “party of government”. Is the AfD ready for power in terms of staff and content or is there a risk of a fall in staff recruitment?
It is also about researching the CV of an AfD member of the Defense Committee. They point out that posing as a long-term “off-duty” officer is not worthy of investigation by the Bundeswehr. The story of how a reservist might have balanced his military career with a political platform.
While Black-Red wants to introduce a legal reform of health insurance, AfD’s health policy spokesman, Martin Sichert, presents his own concept. Target: 35 billion euros in savings. Schindler and von Pezold analyze the plan, which envisages the complete withdrawal of health services for certain groups in order to reduce the burden on “our people”.
“Inside the AfD” is POLITICO Germany’s podcast about the country’s most controversial party. Despite the existence of radicalism and the surveillance of the Office for the Protection of the Constitution, the AfD continues to grow. How is that possible? What drives his supporters, strategists and opponents? How does the internal affairs of the party work? And what does their rise mean for the German political system?
Answers are given every Wednesday Pauline von Pezold from POLITICO and Frederick Schindler from WELT – quiet, but important.
